Hi Dr. Rich! I Sure wish that i would have come to see you when my teeth were getting bad. You are so caring and such a good Dr. Anyone who comes to see you are in very good hands! Thank you for everything that you do. God Bless you always!💖
Can I have a front partial implant done? I have all my teeth but want the front 6 fixed due to discoloring, crookedness, etc. Not sure the best course of action to finally be able to talk and smile without shame! 😢
Hi, your first step should be to see a dentist and get an exam and some x-rays. Be sure to tell they your concerns with your front teeth. They should be able to tell what treatment options are available. You may be able to fix your front teeth without having them removed.
Can you get a flipper made prior to the tooth extraction? And are dental implants easier to do on an upper tooth because there is more bone to work with? Thanks!!
Hi, yes you can get a flipper made prior to extraction. Only downside is it may settle in a bit more as the extraction site heals. As to lower front tooth implants, it used to be that the person needed to get all 4 lower incisors removed and replaced with a bridge on 2 implants. In the last few years, several companies have made small 3 mm wide by 6 mm long dental implants that can be used to replace a single lower incisor.

Thank you very much for the kind words! That's very sweet of you to say.
This presentation was excellent. ⭐️ I learned a lot. Plus I got a chuckle out of the illustration of the ligament men.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you very much for watching!
11:05 Thank you for mentioning this. Some dentists are dishonest about it for financial gain.
You missed out the pricing.
